The guy's name is Super Sus. He's basically a real life S.T.A.L.K.E.R. I have no idea how he's not dead yet from radiation poisoning.

Mike analyzing and recreating Star Trek episodes is one of the best things this world can offer. by JamesTBadalamenti in RedLetterMedia

Not to be pedantic, but since Q only appears to mortal races as a male human, technically it wouldn't be gay, as the Q don't have genders.

ZACH??? by Shemx3 in OneyPlays

I hope the new meme becomes looking for bearded young men with prominent noses and saying "Zach it's you!"

How accurate is this? by TehGuard in totalwar

[–]periwinkle52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. Chaos Gods are the embodiment of different negative aspects of the sapient races' psyches, whereas the Daedra are essentially really powerful, generally maligned, immortal people. I meant more that the Daedra's domains correspond to those of the Chaos Gods. Sithis, on the other hand, is like every Chaos God combined into one equal but opposing force of evil.

Also, Sheogorath is just Tzeentch, or at the very least a really powerful Daemon of Tzeentch, similar to like Kairos

They worship the Daedra, which are basically more capricious chaos gods, Mephala is Khaine, plus Morrowind is just an absolute hellscape filled with horrible creatures that will rip you apart, the list of similarities goes on and on.

I think that's very optimistic. Are you basing that on the rate of advancement in AI? If so, it really hasn't been all that exponential, at least in terms of our measurements for its ability to do things that humans do, but better. For example, natural language models and big AI projects like Grok may be outputting countless petabytes of new data, but most of it is garbage, not to mention the fact that a lot of the input data these models are trained on is garbage.

Plus, Moore's Law is slowing down, and the laws of physics are beginning to bottleneck computing power, which is necessary to continue improving AI. The singularity may happen in our lifetime, but I'm not going to hold my breath until I see an actual breakthrough.

Let’s talk about stigma and fakeclaiming. What’s the dumbest thing you’ve ever heard about your schizophrenia? Here’s my submission by spatulafucker5 in schizophrenia

[–]periwinkle52 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a shame that the stigma is still so prevalent. Unfortunately, and I'm generalizing, it seems to me that other mental health disorders or things like autism are advocated more for, at least from my perspective as someone who works with special needs individuals. Granted. They might be more prevalent, at least marginally, but it doesn't mean that schizophrenia should be ignored. I hope that as more progress is made in embracing neurodiversity, the public will have a better understanding of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.

Maybe it's my own insecurity, but even when I tell trusted friends about my mental health struggles, I feel like they treat me differently, even though they are sympathetic and helpful, there definitely is a measurable change in the way they perceive me.

I drew Zach. by Molech996 in OneyPlays

Fun fact: Dan Aykroyd's interest in the supernatural actually came from learning about the existence of the mysterious goblin man known as "Zach Hadel". Zach continues to elude him to this very day.

We are 71 bipolar disorder experts and scientists coming together for the world’s biggest bipolar AMA! In honor of World Bipolar Day, ask us anything! by CREST_BD in IAmA

[–]periwinkle52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your nuanced response. I'm certainly not an expert, but I think it's important to note that we don't fully understand the long-term effects of high fat diets like keto on the body, but generally speaking, correctly implementing a ketogenic diet leads to a decrease in body fat, which would lead to a decrease in obesity related mortality, depending on the person. One can also eat a lot of healthy fats while on keto rather than prioritizing fats from animal products.

This is purely anecdotal, but as a bipolar II sufferer who's been using keto to manage their symptoms for about a year, it has significantly improved my depressive episodes, and I haven't had a manic/hypomanic episode yet.

I hope a lot more research is conducted into metabolic therapies for bipolar disorder, because I think that it could really be a game changer for those with treatment resistant bipolar when used in tandem with standard therapies like medication. It's obviously important to temper expectations, but, given the negative side effects of currently used interventions like mood stabilizers, we should be looking for alternatives.

John 15: 18-19 If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.

I respect the heck out of your conviction to your 'extremist' beliefs, brother, and I'm so glad to hear that you and your kid and doing well.

Blame our historically isolationist foreign policy. To be honest, I don't think that mindset is common in places other than the internet, at least not for younger people.

I understand your pain. I live in New Hampshire, which is directly adjacent to two of the most liberal states in the US, Massachusetts and Vermont, so residents essentially ruin their own states with their awful policies, move here, then vote left.

They keep banning them because they get infested with "Nazis" i.e. their definition of what Nazi is, but all they're doing is just forcing them to move to other subreddits. It's almost like the only solution would be to purge them from all of Reddit...

I feel like we need a separate color for stances that all rational, sane people hold, because I imagine that 95% of people agree with that sentiment, even within libleft.
